University Hospitals Ahuja Medical Center, the city of Warrensville Heights, and the Warrensville Heights Family YMCA joined forces to promote health and wellness throughout the Warrensville Heights community during a free Family Fun and Fitness Fair March 16.

The event drew 500 visitors from the community, and was such a success, another like event is being planned for June.

“We’re partnering with the UH Ahuja Medical Center and the city (of Warrensville Heights) to do a 5K (run) in June that will culminate in an outdoor health fair,” said Warrensville Heights Family YMCA Health and Wellness Director Tanner Gilbert.

The community event included activities for children and adults including YMCA Youth Movement demonstrations, a bounce house, games, crafts, health screenings, cooking demonstrations, Tai Chi, and Zumba demonstrations, chair massages, prizes and games and crafts.
